Shabbat Times in Auckland

For Friday 2026-08-21

Halachic note

Auckland follows the local custom of lighting candles 18 minutes before sunset. The Shabbat-end time shown uses tzeit hakochavim (8.5°). A 72-minute alternative is also shown for those who follow that opinion.

Auckland is home to New Zealand's largest Jewish community, centered around the Auckland Hebrew Congregation in the city. Visitors can find a welcoming Shabbat atmosphere with kosher takeout, a central eruv, and services, though planning is essential.
